PhD Symposium

Each year, CUBS  holds a Postgraduate Research Symposium to showcase and share the on-going postgraduate research activity in the School. The event allows current postgraduates to present their research to fellow researchers and students in a collegial and helpful environment. It also demonstrates the wide range of postgraduate research currently being undertaken across the School.

2025

In May 2025, CUBS hosted its annual Postgraduate Research Symposium, bringing together PhD students, supervisors, and faculty for a vibrant day of knowledge exchange and community building. The event, organised by Prof. Jane Bourke, Prof. Stewart Smyth, Dr. Se谩n Lucey, Omar Sawalha, and Rachel Cotter, showcased the outstanding breadth and depth of doctoral research across CUBS.

The symposium featured a dynamic range of presentations grouped under five key themes:

• Gender, Education & Wellbeing: Presenters explored topics such as gender inequalities in multinational careers, healthcare service preferences for people with disabilities, and the effects of low birthweight on future earnings.
• Accounting, Management & Innovation: Students shared research on topics including corporate compliance, frugality in accounting, dual-class share structures, and open innovation as a driver of eco-innovation.
• Digital Transformation & Technology: Research addressed digital transformation, risk perception, the adoption of internet and mobile banking, and AI integration in healthcare.
• Sustainability & Food: Presentations covered carbon markets in China, the plant protein transition, dairy workplace sustainability, and the environmental and social impact of agricultural practices.
• The Future of Work: Doctoral students examined hybrid innovation teams, expatriate careers, cyber resilience, generative AI in knowledge management, and organisational decision-making.

A highlight of the day was the keynote address by Prof. Niamh Brennan (UCD), 鈥淩ejection is Energy: Planning Your Career 鈥� Insights from 100 Rules of the Game.鈥�  With humour and honesty, Prof. Brennan reflected on the realities of academic life, encouraging early-career researchers to embrace setbacks as essential learning moments. Her message - that rejection can be a powerful motivator - left a lasting impression on all in attendance.

The symposium closed with a celebration of excellence, as two PhD students were awarded the Dean鈥檚 Prizes for Best Paper. Ernest Christlieb Amrag was awarded Best Paper (1st Year PhD) for his work on the social sustainability of dairy farms, and 脕ine O鈥橤orman won the Best Paper (Established PhD Student) for her co-designed discrete choice experiment on community-based healthcare services for individuals with neuro-physical disabilities.
